Metric O-Rings are employed in specialized applications and, like the name suggests, are standardized by metric dimensions. With a wide variety of sizes available, Metric O-Rings fill in the gaps left by the standardized AS568 o-ring chart. Metric O-Ring sizing is determined by the o-ring's inside diameter and cross section width. Neoprene is also known as Chloroprene.

Neoprene resists fats, oils and petroleum products. Stands up well in sunlight. Low flammability - burns when exposed to flames, but self-extinguishes when flame is removed. Generally good ozone, aging and chemical resistance. It has good mechanical properties over a wide temperature range.For more information, please see: Comparison Properties Chart, PTFE Encapsulated O-rings, Material Shelf Life, and O-ring Groove Design Chart.
